Israeli Reality

Few in Israel seem to remember the old Labour Party Old Guard with Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, Yitshak Rabin, and other Generals like Moshe Dyan.   Many were sabras.  In the 60’s & 70’s  the best of Israel’s generals saw no purpose in taking the Old City, and the Wets Bank.  It would turn the Israeli nation into a camp run by the military to protect it all.  Even the victory of 1967 was seen as short term holding and for peace negotiating leverage.

Today’s Israel’s poor reailty is an amnesia, almost like apartheidist South Africans.  It is assumed that the blacks and coloreds would forget the old pre-1947 circumstance in South Africa.  They did not.

Israeli’s assume that with time, the Palestinians will adjust to a convenient cartographic adjustment, and forget the old land-holds and the old pre-1967 armistice borders.  They will not.

That it is an idea – this waiting and forgetting with time -, can be allayed to the high Soviet police state compliance nature of the Israeli-Soviet immigrants from which the Likud Party makes so many voting gains from fear and a strong recalcitrant state.

In time, the population scenario will win, and the Sabras enlarged will re-emerge as  realists.  But PEACE need not wait until then.

The very idea of Palestine with claimed lands and initially fixed borders – both shown on maps as boundaries and clamed areas, is fertile, very overdue, and must be done.Israel can craft a map with the pre-1967 borders, with un-annexed territory shown, and desired lands for negotiation.  Other bordering nations have done so for centuries.

Both nations territories would overlap and spawn a negotiating table. 

Now! , please?  We Americans don’t forget either.  No American President has ever recognized Israel’s borders enlarged by the 1967 War.  The Americans also keep their Embassy in the pre-1967 section of Israel West Jerusalem.  They will do that as long as the Palestinians will wait.

Salaam Pax & Shalom

Ireland & the United Kingdom

Whether the British Isles, or the Irish Isles, so much can be done by restoring the good relations which have characterized Britain and her separated parts, and the good spirit of work and destiny of Ireland to many common purposes with the UK. The UK and Republic of Ireland are well commended for this emphasized reconciliation.

God Save the Republic of Ireland
& God Save the Queen

Massachusetts Probate Law - Hampden County

Massachusetts Probate Court - Hampden County, policies of process and law change by unpublished bench and Chief Clerk (Register) policy and convulute the state law. In so doing the policy of the bench or the register of Probate fails to heed the US and State Constitutions' provisions for notice and protection of private property. Individuals who would receive inheritances or other benefits from a decedent's estate, and claimants [creditors] against any such estate lose property without process. Their reliance on the state law of Probate to protect them is misplaced because law which variably changes without notice at the bench or clerk's desk denies them the presumptive legal protection sustained at the time of a will production; or in any other matter such as estate planning or will execution. The rights of the benficiaries and claimants have materially vanished if the law is not constant. The practice can and may be enjoined in either state or federal court; and likely will be.

A material example, blank checks conveyed to Estate Administrators [Executors] to do anything the will empowers them to do without prior Court permission (ie moving or selling real property of an estate); and hiding bank assets without inventory in a mask of voluntary administration which excludes said assets from proper probate accounting.
Any party expecting the safety of the law via the court, in not objecting to a will and expecting safety by Estate Administration, is destined to lose thereby.
